The roots of the association’s activities date back to 1958, when the engineering organizations of the time established a Maintenance Committee, whose task was to monitor and promote the development of the factory service and maintenance industry in Finland. In 1972, the operations became association-based and the name Tehdaspalvelu ry was chosen. In the same year, the association became a member of the umbrella organization of European maintenance associations, EFNMS (represented by maintenance associations in more than 20 countries). In 2001, the association established a limited liability company, KP-Media Oy, to market services to the members of the association. The association changed its name to the Finnish Maintenance Society, Promaint at the beginning of 2008.
We build cooperation networks with national and international groups. International communications are represented by participation in the operation of European Federation of National Maintenance Societies (EFNMS). We also network the national organizations in our line of business by means of frequent contact and active participation in their operations. We have strong cooperation with maintenance field schools, universities and societies a well as with companies that have maintenance, production efficiency and production property control as part of their business strategy.
